With nearly 3 billion birds lost since 1970, it is important to do what we can to help. Feather Friendly® Bird Collision Deterrent Markers are a great place to start! @americanbirdconservancy #birdsafe #birdsafeglass #americanbirdconservancy #lightpollution
Did you know? @FLAPCanada and @NatureCanada have an ongoing Bird-Friendly Building Survey collecting community science data on buildings anywhere in the world that already comply with a bird safe design standard or are in need of retrofitting to save birds survey123.arcgis.com/share/b2d2a92b…
Happy Earth Day! Helping birds can be as simple as making changes to everyday habits. Here’s the @CornellBirds quick list of 7 Simple Actions you can take to help birds: buff.ly/2n9chrI
Happy #EarthDay2024! Don’t wait for (another) “thunk” at your window. Please mark your glass now! #MarkYourWindows #SaveTheBirds #BirdFriendlyHomes #BirdFriendlyCities
@TweetsCoffman @SafeWingsOtt Once you've put down a few rows you get the hang of it and it is easy. It takes a couple of days to get used to the look but soon it seems normal - nice even. It works so well I'm surprised it isn't a standard feature of windows now. Who wants birds to die hitting your building?
@TweetsCoffman @SafeWingsOtt Installation is easy once you get the hang of it, but tricky at first. They are 1 sq. cm white stickers on strips spaced by ~10 cm. You use a squeegy that comes with. At first you struggle to make it straight, keep the spacing (tape is elastic), and get 100% of the stickers off.
@TweetsCoffman @SafeWingsOtt We had a problem with birds hitting two windows. I tried several things that didn't work, then tried the tape, which is available at Lee Valley. It works fantastically well. Have had zero bird collisions since. One time I was by the window, a bird flew at it and stopped mid-air!
Everyone who appreciates and loves birds should be treating their windows! 💛☀️🐦 ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
Whether you live in an urban high-rise or one-story suburban house, sooner or later window strikes could hit close to home. Try these tips from the experts to help injured birds and prevent future collisions by becoming #BirdFriendly. audubon.org/news/you-found…

An environmental assessment of the Barnsdale exchange noted that four provincially endangered or threatened species at risk including bobolink, eastern meadowlark, eastern wood-pewee and bat species, had the potential to be affected by the proposed work.

The Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa) is a tiny song bird weighing just 5.5g! Unfortunately, they tend to be one of the victims of window collisions we see most in Ottawa. #ottcity #ottawa #justsavebirds #goldencrownedkinglet
🐦💔Ottawa's bird population faces a fatal threat from glass collisions, with around 250,000 birds killed annually. @SafeWingsOtt is working to change that. Read more: capitalcurrent.ca/museum-display… 🦅🦢🦉 #Wildlifeprotection #OttawaWildlife #Birdsafety

Today City Council will vote on approving the draft secondary plan for the Byron Gravel Pit. We are urging them to preserve habitat in the green space at the site for a colony of nearly 2,000 Bank Swallows, a Threatened Species at Risk. Watch the video:

This tiny patch of trout lily was planted in the spring of 2023, after it had already gone through its flowering stage. Because this species dies back into the soil very quickly (by June), we didn't know until this year if they had survived. They did!
